Catering to your aircraft in Valera.
SVVL is a quiet Andean field where the air is cooler than the coast and the menu follows. Private jet catering here arrives at the aircraft through your FBO or handling agent.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.

Trujillo State is coffee, cane and cool highland cooking, and a private jet menu for Valera should taste like it. The inflight menu leans on what the mountains grow: arepas stuffed with cheese, pan de jamón, hallacas in season, trout from Andean streams, and sweets built on panela. We pack private jet food so each local speciality survives a cabin: chilled or oven, sauce apart where there is one. Private jet platters of local cheeses and cured meats ride in the cold drawer, gourmet inflight meals come hot from the oven, and private jet snacks such as yuca chips and cacao squares sit in the seat pocket. Nothing leaves the kitchen in a tray that needs a second pan to work. The local specialities of Valera and Trujillo State are listed below, and each is written for a galley with one oven.
Valera is Andean Venezuela: cold mornings, strong coffee, and a food culture built around corn, cheese and slow-cooked meat. Our private jet menu here starts with that. The inflight menu can carry arepas and cachapas, hallacas at the end of the year, and trout when the rivers are running. Private jet food from Trujillo State holds up well because most of it was designed to be eaten warm or room-temperature. Private jet platters of queso de mano and plantain, gourmet inflight meals finished in the oven, and private jet snacks like cacao and papelón sweets are packed with the local specialities label so the crew can find them in the drawer. Trujillo State supplies the produce; the galley decides the format.

Valera sits on a high Andean plain in Trujillo State, and SVVL is where a cool-weather galley request begins: soup, coffee, warm bread. Private jet catering here is built around that highland table, packed for the galley you actually fly with and handed over by the FBO or your handling agent. For the cabin it covers inflight catering and in-flight catering from one order; for the operator, aviation catering and business aviation catering with a labelled crew box. Executive jet catering at Valera is also where diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals get written down properly before the aircraft lands.
At Dr. Antonio Nicolás Briceño, executives and charter clients want food that suits the altitude and the hour. Corporate jet catering and business jet catering start with the aircraft type; VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the brief. A private jet chef drafts a bespoke menu, and luxury inflight catering is simply it done properly.
For a delegation landing at SVVL, government flight catering is decided at the protocol desk before any dish is chosen. Head of state flight catering and state visit aircraft catering are cleared in writing, with a named team and discreet handover. VIP aviation catering for SVVL is traceable from order to aircraft door.
At Valera, special meals start with the corn, cheese and plantain that dominate the local kitchen. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free requests are written as a separate procedure: dedicated board, sealed box, seat number on the lid. Kids meals can mirror the arepas on the main menu in a plainer form. Tell us the restrictions and the seat plan, and the card travels with the box.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.
Their own menu, nothing to cut at altitude.
Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
On request, crew meals at Valera are added to the order and billed on the same invoice as every other line. Flight crew meals and pilot meals come as boxed or plated dishes, and crew catering can be hot or cold depending on the schedule. Cockpit meals are packed to be eaten one-handed, crew meal boxes are labelled CREW, and different meals for pilots can be written in when the operator asks. Cabin crew meals are listed separately from passenger trays.
FBO catering at Valera is handed over at the FBO or by your handling agent at the aircraft. Catering delivery to the general aviation terminal is agreed ahead, with ground handling catering written around your slot. Handling agent catering coordinates the ramp access and the door.
Aircraft size decides how the order reaches the galley at Valera. A turboprop or light jet takes a hand-carried crate at the door; a larger cabin may need a high loader at the stairs. Galley catering is packed for the oven and drawer the aircraft actually has, and airside catering delivery goes through the FBO or your handling agent. Aircraft provisioning at SVVL is agreed in advance, so no one is guessing at the ramp.

Dr. Antonio Nicolás Briceño Airport serves Valera in Trujillo State and sits in highland country at around 2,060 feet. Airport catering here is a quiet business-aviation matter rather than a terminal one: a small apron, a handful of movements, and a ground handling services team that knows each tail by name. As a business aviation hub for the Andean corner of the country, VLV is used for short hops in and out, not long turnarounds.
Business aviation at Valera is small and steady, with executive jet catering and cabin crew meals ordered by phone or email. For inflight catering and in-flight catering, aviation catering and business aviation catering, and diplomatic flight catering when a delegation visits, the order flows through one team. General aviation and FBO services at VLV keep the ramp simple, and the FBO is where the crates change hands. Crew meals travel in a labelled box, apart from guest trays.
Venezuela applies its own import rules to food, and ground handling services at SVVL manage the paperwork on the apron. Catering uplifted locally avoids most of the issue; anything carried in from abroad should be declared, and Valera is no exception for an aircraft arriving as a business aviation hub stop. We will say what applies when you place the order.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“An order of vegetarian wraps and colourful salads for 7 people at Dr. Antonio Nicolás Briceño Airport had to be organised around a changing departure schedule. I asked The Galley Girls for the breakfast portions in clearly marked packs, with garnishes supplied separately for plating on board. We could finish the starters as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once. The order made business aviation catering feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand.”
“Getting grilled salmon with a lemon dressing ready for 2 guests at SVVL required an order that accounted for a family lunch request. Our handling contact received the order details from The Galley Girls, including how the side dishes had been grouped. Our brief for jet catering was met with a sensible plan for meal organisation. Knowing where the salads were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived.”
“With a short ground stop to consider at VLV, we needed a practical way to serve roasted vegetable bowls with separate dressings to 11 passengers. The crew briefing stood out more than any sales pitch about VIP flight catering. I wanted clear identification on the breakfast portions; The Galley Girls made the packing arrangement easy to compare with the order. The salads were also listed clearly, which made it easier to pass instructions between crew members during preparation.”
Answering how much private jet catering costs here starts with the ingredient: highland trout and queso de mano price differently from a plain plantain plate. Pick the dishes, give us the seat count, and the invoice follows from that list.
The lead time is shaped by your slot at VLV and by whether the dishes are hot arepas or a cold trout salad. Orders placed late in the day for an early departure are still handled; tell us the tail and the handover point.
Customs at SVVL are cleared by your handling agent, and the practical effect is on timing: a long wait means crew meals that hold well, boxed and marked CREW. Food uplifted locally avoids most import questions.
You can carry food within local rules, but a kosher, vegan or allergen meal is safer ordered than carried: we pack it on its own board, sealed, with the seat number on the lid, so it is never mixed with other trays.
No. Food is not part of the charter agreement: for a delegation landing at SVVL you order it separately and it is invoiced separately, with the tail, the slot and the headcount written into the order.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
